CREATE AND QUERY DELTA TABLES
Create and use managed database
-- Managed database is saved in the Hive metastore. Default database is named "default". DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS dbName; CREATE DATABASE dbName; USE dbName -- This command avoids having to specify dbName.tableName every time instead of just tableName.
Query Delta Lake table by table name (preferred)
/* You can refer to Delta Tables by table name, or by path. Table name is the preferred way, since named tables are managed in the Hive Metastore (i.e., when you DROP a named table, the data is dropped also -- not the case for path-based tables.) */ SELECT * FROM [dbName.] tableName
Query Delta Lake table by path
SELECT * FROM delta.`path/to/delta_table` -- note backticks
Convert Parquet table to Delta Lake format in place
-- by table name CONVERT TO DELTA [dbName.]tableName [PARTITIONED BY (col_name1 col_type1, col_name2 col_type2)]
-- path-based tables CONVERT TO DELTA parquet.`/path/to/table` -- note backticks [PARTITIONED BY (col_name1 col_type1, col_name2 col_type2)]
Create Delta Lake table as SELECT * with no upfront schema definition
CREATE TABLE [dbName.] tableName USING DELTA AS SELECT * FROM tableName | parquet.`path/to/data` [LOCATION `/path/to/table`] -- using location = unmanaged table
Create table, define schema explicitly with SQL DDL
CREATE TABLE [dbName.] tableName ( id INT [NOT NULL], name STRING, date DATE, int_rate FLOAT)
USING DELTA [PARTITIONED BY (time, date)] -- optional
Copy new data into Delta Lake table (with idempotent retries)
COPY INTO [dbName.] targetTable FROM (SELECT * FROM "/path/to/table") FILEFORMAT = DELTA -- or CSV, Parquet, ORC, JSON, etc.
DELTA LAKE DDL/DML: UPDATE, DELETE, INSERT, ALTER TABLE
Update rows that match a predicate condition
UPDATE tableName SET event = 'click' WHERE event = 'clk'
Delete rows that match a predicate condition
DELETE FROM tableName WHERE "date < '2017-01-01"
Insert values directly into table
INSERT INTO TABLE tableName VALUES ( (8003, "Kim Jones", "2020-12-18", 3.875), (8004, "Tim Jones", "2020-12-20", 3.750)
); -- Insert using SELECT statement INSERT INTO tableName SELECT * FROM sourceTable -- Atomically replace all data in table with new values INSERT OVERWRITE loan_by_state_delta VALUES (...)
Upsert (update + insert) using MERGE
MERGE INTO target USING updates ON target.Id = updates.Id WHEN MATCHED AND target.delete_flag = "true" THEN
DELETE WHEN MATCHED THEN
UPDATE SET * -- star notation means all columns WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
INSERT (date, Id, data) -- or, use INSERT * VALUES (date, Id, data)
Insert with Deduplication using MERGE
MERGE INTO logs USING newDedupedLogs ON logs.uniqueId = newDedupedLogs.uniqueId WHEN NOT MATCHED
THEN INSERT *
Alter table schema -- add columns
ALTER TABLE tableName ADD COLUMNS ( col_name data_type [FIRST|AFTER colA_name])
Alter table -- add constraint
-- Add "Not null" constraint: ALTER TABLE tableName CHANGE COLUMN col_name SET NOT NULL -- Add "Check" constraint: ALTER TABLE tableName ADD CONSTRAINT dateWithinRange CHECK date > "1900-01-01" -- Drop constraint: ALTER TABLE tableName DROP CONSTRAINT dateWithinRange
TIME TRAVEL
View transaction log (aka Delta Log)
DESCRIBE HISTORY tableName
Query historical versions of Delta Lake tables
SELECT * FROM tableName VERSION AS OF 0 SELECT * FROM tableName@v0 -- equivalent to VERSION AS OF 0 SELECT * FROM tableName TIMESTAMP AS OF "2020-12-18"
Find changes between 2 versions of table
SELECT * FROM tableName VERSION AS OF 12 EXCEPT ALL SELECT * FROM tableName VERSION AS OF 11
TIME TRAVEL (CONTINUED)
Rollback a table to an earlier version
-- RESTORE requires Delta Lake version 0.7.0+ & DBR 7.4+. RESTORE tableName VERSION AS OF 0 RESTORE tableName TIMESTAMP AS OF "2020-12-18"
UTILITY METHODS
View table details
DESCRIBE DETAIL tableName DESCRIBE FORMATTED tableName
Delete old files with Vacuum
VACUUM tableName [RETAIN num HOURS] [DRY RUN]
Clone a Delta Lake table
-- Deep clones copy data from source, shallow clones don't. CREATE TABLE [dbName.] targetName [SHALLOW | DEEP] CLONE sourceName [VERSION AS OF 0] [LOCATION "path/to/table"] -- specify location only for path-based tables
Interoperability with Python / DataFrames
-- Read name-based table from Hive metastore into DataFrame df = spark.table("tableName") -- Read path-based table into DataFrame df = spark.read.format("delta").load("/path/to/delta_table")
Run SQL queries from Python
spark.sql("SELECT * FROM tableName") spark.sql("SELECT * FROM delta.`/path/to/delta_table`")
Modify data retention settings for Delta Lake table
-- logRetentionDuration -> how long transaction log history is kept, deletedFileRetentionDuration -> how long ago a file must have been deleted before being a candidate for VACCUM. ALTER TABLE tableName SET TBLPROPERTIES(
delta.logRetentionDuration = "interval 30 days", delta.deletedFileRetentionDuration = "interval 7 days" ); SHOW TBLPROPERTIES tableName;
PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATIONS
Compact data files with Optimize and Z-Order
*Databricks Delta Lake feature OPTIMIZE tableName [ZORDER BY (colNameA, colNameB)]
Auto-optimize tables
*Databricks Delta Lake feature ALTER TABLE [table_name | delta.`path/to/delta_table`] SET TBLPROPERTIES (delta.autoOptimize.optimizeWrite = true)
Cache frequently queried data in Delta Cache
*Databricks Delta Lake feature CACHE SELECT * FROM tableName -- or: CACHE SELECT colA, colB FROM tableName WHERE colNameA > 0

READS AND WRITES WITH DELTA LAKE
Read data from pandas DataFrame
df = spark.createDataFrame(pdf) # where pdf is a pandas DF # then save DataFrame in Delta Lake format as shown below
Read data using Apache SparkTM
# read by path df = (spark.read.format("parquet"|"csv"|"json"|etc.)
.load("/path/to/delta_table")) # read table from Hive metastore df = spark.table("events")
Save DataFrame in Delta Lake format
(df.write.format("delta") .mode("append"|"overwrite") .partitionBy("date") # optional .option("mergeSchema", "true") # option - evolve schema .saveAsTable("events") | .save("/path/to/delta_table")
)
Streaming reads (Delta table as streaming source)
# by path or by table name df = (spark.readStream
.format("delta") .schema(schema) .table("events") | .load("/delta/events") )
Streaming writes (Delta table as a sink)
streamingQuery = ( df.writeStream.format("delta")
.outputMode("append"|"update"|"complete") .option("checkpointLocation", "/path/to/checkpoints") .trigger(once=True|processingTime="10 seconds") .table("events") | .start("/delta/events") )
CONVERT PARQUET TO DELTA LAKE
Convert Parquet table to Delta Lake format in place
deltaTable = DeltaTable.convertToDelta(spark, "parquet.`/path/to/parquet_table`")
partitionedDeltaTable = DeltaTable.convertToDelta(spark, "parquet.`/path/to/parquet_table`", "part int")
WORKING WITH DELTATTAABBLLEESS
# A DeltaTable is the entry point for interacting with tables programmatically in Python -- for example, to perform updates or deletes. from delta.tables import *
deltaTable = DeltaTable.forName(spark, tableName) deltaTable = DeltaTable.forPath(spark, delta.`path/to/table`)
DELTA LAKE DDL/DML: UPDATES, DELETES, INSERTS, MERGES
Delete rows that match a predicate condition
# predicate using SQL formatted string deltaTable.delete("date < '2017-01-01'") # predicate using Spark SQL functions deltaTable.delete(col("date") < "2017-01-01")
Update rows that match a predicate condition
# predicate using SQL formatted string deltaTable.update(condition = "eventType = 'clk'",
set = { "eventType": "'click'" } ) # predicate using Spark SQL functions deltaTable.update(condition = col("eventType") == "clk",
set = { "eventType": lit("click") } )
Upsert (update + insert) using MERGE
# Available options for merges [see documentation for details]: .whenMatchedUpdate(...) | .whenMatchedUpdateAll(...) | .whenNotMatchedInsert(...) | .whenMatchedDelete(...) (deltaTable.alias("target").merge(
source = updatesDF.alias("updates"), condition = "target.eventId = updates.eventId") .whenMatchedUpdateAll() .whenNotMatchedInsert( values = { "date": "updates.date", "eventId": "updates.eventId", "data": "updates.data", "count": 1 } ).execute() )
Insert with Deduplication using MERGE
(deltaTable.alias("logs").merge( newDedupedLogs.alias("newDedupedLogs"), "logs.uniqueId = newDedupedLogs.uniqueId")
.whenNotMatchedInsertAll() .execute() )
TIME TRAVEL
View transaction log (aka Delta Log)
fullHistoryDF = deltaTable.history()
Query historical versions of Delta Lake tables
# choose only one option: versionAsOf, or timestampAsOf df = (spark.read.format("delta")
.option("versionAsOf", 0) .option("timestampAsOf", "2020-12-18") .load("/path/to/delta_table"))
TIME TRAVEL (CONTINUED)
Find changes between 2 versions of a table
df1 = spark.read.format("delta").load(pathToTable) df2 = spark.read.format("delta").option("versionAsOf", 2).load("/path/to/delta_table") df1.exceptAll(df2).show()
Rollback a table by version or timestamp
deltaTable.restoreToVersion(0) deltaTable.restoreToTimestamp('2020-12-01')
